Democrats lay out second-term wish list for President Obama

Awfully arrogant, aren't they?  Lists like this could hurt the Dems, by pointing out unpopular policies that they want to continue . . .

Democrats lay out second-term wish list for President Obama

By Mike Lillis - 09/29/12 06:00 AM ET

The presidential contest is far from over, but House Democrats are already readying their legislative wish-lists in hopes that President Obama is reelected.

The lawmakers are floating a broad array of issues they'd like Obama to tackle immediately in a second term, placing a focus on jobs and the economy, but also thorny discretionary issues like immigration, climate change, housing – even a return to healthcare reform.

An Obama victory in November would lend the president a new fistful of political capital as he confronts Republican leaders over how to avoid the fiscal cliff and steer the polarized country through the next four years. More than a month before November's elections, his allies in the House are already offering tips for how to spend it.

“He's got to continue to concentrate on jobs,” Rep. Bill Pascrell said last week as the House was leaving town for a long, pre-election recess.

“I'm hoping he'll do immigration reform,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas).

The next few are equally as loony. :mental:  But, you've got to go to the link to see them:

It would have been nice if he had concentrated on jobs and the economy in the FIRST term. Why wait till the 2nd term? He could do something right now, but that's not on the agenda for a 2nd term.

Anything that gets done on immigration and glowbull warming in the way the DemonRats want, will be detrimental to the economy.

Wouldn't he have to start first?
